Apptainer (formerly Singularity) is a container system designed for use on High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. It allows users to run both Docker and Singularity containers.
From the Docker website: "A container image is a lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of a piece of software that includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings."
LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems.
A highly optimized implementation of LAPACK is available on all OSC clusters as part of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). We recommend that you use MKL rather than building LAPACK for yourself. MKL is available to all OSC users.
The BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) are routines that provide standard building blocks for performing basic vector and matrix operations.
A highly optimized implementation of the BLAS is available on all OSC clusters as part of the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). We recommend that you use MKL rather than building the BLAS for yourself. MKL is available to all OSC users.
FreeSurfer is a software package used to anaylze nueroimaging data.
The following versions of FreeSurfer are available on OSC clusters:
From julialang.org:
"Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for numerical computing. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. Julia’s Base library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed open source C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packages through Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace. IJulia, a collaboration between the Jupyter and Julia communities, provides a powerful browser-based graphical notebook interface to Julia."
OSC is refreshing the software stack for Oakley and Ruby on February 22, 2017 (during the scheduled downtime). During the software refresh, some default versions are updated to be more up-to-date and some older versions are removed. Information about the old and new default versions, as well as all available versions of each software package will be included on the corresponding OSC software webpage. See https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/software-list.
This documentation is to discuss how to run STAR-CCM+ to STAR-CCM+ Coupling simulation in batch job at OSC. The following example demonstrates the process of using STAR-CCM+ version 11.02.010 on Cardinal. Depending on the version of STAR-CCM+ and cluster you work on, there mighe be some differences from the example. Feel free to contact OSC Help if you have any questions.
Darshan is a lightweight "scalable HPC I/O characterization tool
The following versions of Darshan are available on OSC clusters:
Apache Spark is an open source cluster-computing framework originally developed in the AMPLab at University of California, Berkeley but was later donated to the Apache Software Foundation where it remains today. In contrast to Hadoop's disk-based analytics paradigm, Spark has multi-stage in-memory analytics. Spark can run programs up-to 100x faster than Hadoop’s MapReduce in memory or 10x faster on disk. Spark support applications written in python, java, scala and R.
From WARP3D's webpage:
WARP3D is under continuing development as a research code for the solution of large-scale, 3-Dsolid models subjected to static and dynamic loads. The capabilities of the code focus on fatigue & fracture analyses primarily in metals. WARP3D runs on laptops-to-supercomputers and can analyze models with several million nodes and elements.
The following versions of WARP3D are available on OSC clusters:
